Criminal Background Checks and Drug Testing

All incoming medical students must undergo a Criminal Background Check (CBC) and drug screening before matriculation as facilitated by a contracted vendor. Acceptance to Emory School of Medicine is contingent upon the authorization to conduct a drug screening and CBC, as well as the release of its findings to Emory.

Entering Medical Student Health and Immunization Requirements

For the protection of the health of our students and because of the risks of exposure to infectious diseases to which medical students are subjected in the course of clinical work, certain tests and immunizations are required of all students prior to matriculation.

Student Agreements and Release

All medical students must abide by the academic standards, policies, and procedures as outlined in the MD Handbook. This includes that students agree to follow the Honor Code and Conduct Code as a member of EUSOM.

Technical Requirements for Matriculation

For successful completion of the course of study for the Doctor of Medicine degree at Emory University, students must have certain technical and intellectual skills.
